SHEINKIN 40 Studio — ALEXANDER ARKHANGELSKY: “Classy Reading” in Tel Aviv, September 6–9, 2026

Each session is devoted to one book and has its own title.

• September 6 at 6:00 p.m. — The Captain’s Daughter: “Two Impostors and One Love” — a discussion of why Pushkin wrote not a historical novel, but a coming-of-age story.
• At 8:00 p.m. that same day — Don Quixote: “The Quiet Don and the Loud Sancho Panza” — about a novel that few remember as one of the funniest books in history.
• September 7 at 6:00 p.m. — The Master and Margarita: “Moscow, Burned to the Ground.”
• At 8:00 p.m. — A Hero of Our Time: “That’s One Way, but Not Quite That Way.”
• September 8 — The Government Inspector (“The Inspector in Someone Else’s Greatcoat”) and Woe from Wit (“There’s Nothing Complicated About a Foolish Matter”).
• September 9 — Chukovsky–Kassil–Marshak: “Not-So-Childish Fairy Tales,” about how Jewish boys from the Russian Empire became classics of Soviet literature, and Shakespeare: “Youth Gangs Against the Backdrop of Great Love.”

No two meetings are alike, so it makes sense to check the schedule in advance and buy tickets for the book you want.
